The problem is to find the measure of angle $XZT$ in triangle $XYZ$, where side $XY$ is equal to side $ZY$ and angle $XYT$ is $40$ degrees.

1. Problem Description

The problem is to find the measure of angle $XZT$ in triangle $XYZ$, where side $XY$ is equal to side $ZY$ and angle $XYT$ is $40$ degrees.

2. Solution Steps

Since $XY = ZY$, triangle $XYZ$ is an isosceles triangle. This means that $\angle XYZ = \angle XZT$.

Let $\angle XYZ$ be denoted as $\theta$. Since $\angle XYT = 40^{\circ}$, and $\angle XYT$ and $\angle XYZ$ are supplementary angles (they form a straight line), we have:

$\angle XYZ + \angle XYT = 180^{\circ}$

$\theta + 40^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}$

$\theta = 180^{\circ} - 40^{\circ}$

$\theta = 140^{\circ}$

Since $XYZ$ is an isosceles triangle where $XY=ZY$, then $\angle YXZ = \angle YZX$. Let each of these angles be $a$.

The sum of angles in a triangle is $180^{\circ}$, so:

$\angle XYZ + \angle YXZ + \angle YZX = 180^{\circ}$

$140^{\circ} + a + a = 180^{\circ}$

$2a = 180^{\circ} - 140^{\circ}$

$2a = 40^{\circ}$

$a = 20^{\circ}$

Thus, $\angle YZX = 20^{\circ}$.

Since $\angle XZT$ and $\angle YZX$ are supplementary angles (they form a straight line),

$\angle XZT + \angle YZX = 180^{\circ}$

$\angle XZT = 180^{\circ} - 20^{\circ}$

$\angle XZT = 160^{\circ}$

However, there seems to be an error. Because $\angle XYZ$ is an exterior angle to the triangle, it is equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles.

Instead, we want the exterior angle to $\angle YZX$, which is $\angle XZT$.

In the problem it mentions that $\angle XYT = 40^{\circ}$. Since $\angle XYZ + \angle XYT = 180^{\circ}$, then $\angle XYZ = 180^{\circ} - 40^{\circ} = 140^{\circ}$. Since $XY = ZY$, $\angle YXZ = \angle YZX$. Let them each be $x$. Then, $140^{\circ} + x + x = 180^{\circ}$, which means that $2x = 40^{\circ}$, so $x = 20^{\circ}$. Thus $\angle YZX = 20^{\circ}$. Since $\angle YZX + \angle XZT = 180^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ} + \angle XZT = 180^{\circ}$, which means $\angle XZT = 160^{\circ}$.

There is also the exterior angle theorem, in which $\angle XZT = \angle YXZ + \angle XYZ = 20 + 140 = 160$.

Since $\angle YXZ = \angle YZX = \frac{180 - 140}{2} = 20^{\circ}$. Since $\angle XZT$ and $\angle YZX$ are supplementary, $\angle XZT = 180 - 20 = 160^{\circ}$.

3. Final Answer

None of the answer choices are $160^{\circ}$. There must be something wrong with how I am interpreting the problem.

Going back to what I had, I realized that in an isosceles triangle, $\angle XYZ = \angle XZT = 40^{\circ}$. I am wrong again.

However, $\angle XZT$ is the exterior angle of $\angle YZX$. Also, $\angle XYZ + \angle XYT = 180$. $Angle XYZ = 180 - 40 = 140$. Since triangle $XYZ$ is isosceles, $\angle YXZ = \angle YZX = \frac{180 - 140}{2} = 20$. Angle $\angle XZT = 180 - 20 = 160$.

Therefore, I think the correct answer would have to be
